javascript access to pseudo elements (hover)

Hi

Hope this is not too off-topic for www-style list.

I'd like to manipulate some :hover properties, but
from Javascript.  Is there a way to access them?

Basically I have one platform that doesn't seem to
support :hover in the way I'm using it, and I'd 
like to disable the :hover properties for that 
browser and OS, from Javascript.

I tried element.style.hover - but that's obviously
the wrong approach.

Any leads would be greatly appreciated.
